Pavel Kolesnikov: Live at Honens 2012

The Telegraph (London) describes Russian pianist Pavel Koles­nikov’s playing as having “brilliance, but also a caressing, almost sly intimacy”. Kolesnikov, who was named Honens Prize Laur­eate in 2012, made his recital debut in the Small Hall of the Mo­scow Conservatory in 2008 and has since played both as soloist and collaborator throughout Russia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

Recent and upcoming engagements include festival appear­ances at Spoleto Festival USA, the Ottawa International Cham­ber Music and Banff Summer Arts Festivals (Canada), the Plush Festival (United Kingdom) and with orchestras including the Cal­gary Philharmonic and Regina Symphony Orchestras, l’Orchestre National de Belgique, the London Philharmonic and Russia’s National Philharmonic Orchestras. Thanks to his Hon­ens win, he will soon make debuts at Berlin’s Konzerthaus, Lon­don’s Wigmore Hall and New York’s Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall. Kolesnikov studies at Moscow State Conservatory with Sergey Dorensky, at London’s Royal College of Music with Norma Fisher and at Brussels’ Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel with Maria João Pires. He calls London home.
